I've got one that rocks the horse as Mr Cox would say. It's still ultra super duper buggy which is why i haven't released it yet.
This tool I wrote takes the top level directory path i.e. c:\inetpub\wwwroot It then, reads through every directory and reads in each fbx_settings.cfm and the appropriate fbx_switch.cfm It extracts all included fuses and reads their fusedocs using cfdev's <cfx_xmlparser>. Next it compares all of the <out> variables with the <in> variables of the current fuse. In the end it gives you a report of all the fuses in your entire application that are expecting variables that were never passed out of another fuse. This is incredibly helpful in validating your fusedocs. It's no use if a fuse passes a test harness but does the wrong thing. Jeff Peters is working on another fusedoc tool. He is making an automatic test harness tool. That will read your fusedocs and create instant test cases. This is just the beginning, there will be many many tools that work from the xml fusedocs it's just going to take some time and a tremendous amount of creativity. You also have to remember the tools aren't the important part, the real power of fusedocs is the ability to break your application into tiny atomic pieces and write the code for each atomic piece without knowing the rest of the application.
